LMFF 2009: L'Oreal Paris Runway 1 show-coverage

AUTHOR DATE TIME

L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) continued last night with the showing of L'Oreal Paris Runway 1, the first of seven main feature parades for the week. From the roughed-up rock chic of Ksubi to the sexy mini-dresses and sweeping sheer gowns of J'Aton, it was an eclectic grouping of designers that somehow worked.

Karen Walker, Tina Kalivas, Kirrily Johnston, Life with Bird, Sass & Bide, Romance was Born and Josh Goot were the rest of the designers who brought their individual styles to the runway. Look out for: Sass & Bide's sexy cut-away trend pieces, quirky layers at Romance Was Born, and the divine delicate detailing at J'Aton (including the pink fringed number pictured above).

LMFF 2009: Pop-up parade 1 show-coverage

AUTHOR DATE TIME

It was the perfect start to L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF); a stunning presentation of Australian fashion through the ages, starting with the Victorian era and ending in modern-day futurism. The parade included 13 looks in total, each a modern representation of an era, and each designed by one of Australia's biggest fashion industry names.

Ferragamo: sheer elegance to sheer daring

AUTHOR DATE TIME

As far as the Autumn (Fall)/Winter 2009-2010 Runways go, this one sure proves that elegance and sex appeal can go hand in hand. The Salvatore Ferragamo collection makes a smooth transition from dainty capes and classic furs, to daring see-through sheers. And retains a sense of elegance the entire way.

Versace Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009/2010: Sexy

AUTHOR DATE TIME

I would hardly list Versace as one of my favourite labels... but when it comes to doing sexy, Donatella quite often knows her stuff. And be not mistaken: Versace Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009/2010 is the traditional Versace sex appeal from start to finish; perfect for driving sales in these troubled times. The only trouble is deciding what's best - the flowing, floor-length, side-split gowns; or the clinging, thigh-grazing mini-dresses. Take your pick.

As far as the Autumn (Fall)/Winter 2009-2010 collections go, Versace's is certainly not the most ground-breaking. But we give it plenty of points for its daring cuts and striking colour pallet.

Roberto Cavalli A(F)/W 2009/2010 blows us away

AUTHOR DATE TIME

If Gucci left us feeling a let down, Roberto Cavalli may be the Autumn(Fall)/Winter women's collection that truly stands out at Milan Fashion Week.

Fantastic cuts, studding, leather, and sheer pieces; Roberto Cavalli Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009/2010 has left us blown away. It's an ultra luxurious take on the bohemian fashion trend, when all we honestly expected was a mass of leopard print.

Gucci Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009/2010 Women's Runway

AUTHOR DATE TIME

If there's one single collection that has undeniable influenced fashion trends it had to be Frida Giannini's Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2008/2009 collection for Gucci. It was, and remains, amazing and it gave us the luxury bohemian fashion trend.

Well, the women's Gucci Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009/2010 catwalk is now online (as are many other women's 2009/2010 Autumn (Fall)/Winter catwalks). Will it be as influential? Will it even come close to the previous Autumn(Fall)/Winter collection?

Miranda Kerr. Was ever there a more ridiculously perfect being? Walking the runway at today's David Jones Autumn (Fall)/Winter 2009 collections launch in Melbourne, Kerr reminded us all of why she's in such high demand. But she was not the only star of the show: no less than 21 of Australia's most loved designers showcased a selection of their finest winter pieces.

Marc Jacobs Autumn(Fall)/Winter 09/10 may offend

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Revivals are in.

There's the flapper revival, and the Grecian thing. Heck there's even a quasi-90s penchant for an exposed stomach (have we learnt nothing from 'muffin tops'?). And yes, yes there was that 1980s experimentation. But Marc, oh Marc...

Yes, that's one of the stand out looks from the Marc Jacobs Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2009/2010 catwalk.
